Help me find my air filter! Kia Pride

I am going on a long trip and decided I need to change my air filter (bought the car used and am not sure when it was last done.) But I cant find it! I have a 1996 Kia Pride. I looked under the hood, I know it is a ring shaped air filter, but I dont see where it goes. Will the casing be the same shape or could it be square?
Any help appreciated.

    Any chance you could post a pic? I am not familiar with kia's

    Normally its in a black plastic round casing with a catch on the front so it opens up and you can just swap them over.

    You may have to remove an engine cover before it is visible. Have you bought the replacement and therefore know that it is a round ring shape because they come in various different shapes and sizes.

    Found the part at Halfords, but they did not have a Haynes manual to look at. Sorry I cannot take a picture as I am the only person in britain without a digital camera or camera phone!
